Hello! I'm Amy, the Education Manager Wayside Waifs. I went to school for Secondary Education, and taught middle school English for five years, until I decided I wanted to explore the world of Animal Welfare! I joined the Wayside Waifs team in February 2022, and found my passion for Humane Education through the No More Bullying curriculum.
My favorite parts of the No More Bullying curriculum are creating a safe space for students to share openly, and having conversations with students about how to treat people with the same respect and love that we show our pets!
Another wonderful part of No More Bullying is being able to bring companion dogs into classrooms! I have two dogs of my own: Brody, a 4-year old, pit-bull/hound mix, who I adopted from Wayside Waifs, and Dany, a 7-year old, shepherd mix, who I adopted from another local shelter. Brody is a companion dog who accompanies me to schools!
